[10月13日星期二,晚上7:00–8:30] 歡迎參加在 羅斯福公園(田徑場)舉辦的免費搖擺舞(Swing Dance)課程,學習如何跳脫風格十足的林迪舞(Lindy Hop)。不需自備舞伴,無論獨自前來或與朋友結伴,我們為您配對其他學員,並進行舞伴輪替。無需任何搖擺舞基礎!課程將以普通話授課。
一起學會舞步,為 9 月 24 日在羅斯福公園舉辦的盛大《活力搖擺舞 Swing Out》舞會活動做好準備。
感謝 SW!NG OUT 社區基金(SW!NG OUT Community Fund)促成了這些免費課程。
Instruction from Molly Meng and Nancy Qin
Molly Meng 从国内开始跳摇摆舞,领舞和跟舞都精通的她在来到美国后逐渐在国际上崭露头角。在一曲爵士乐中和舞伴对话是她最享受摇摆舞的地方。她注重律动和节奏,看她跳舞的人很容易被她自由欢快的风格所感染。她在纽约、费城、西雅图、北京、上海、深圳、西安、郑州都传播过摇摆舞,也登上过不少舞台,比如雅各布枕舞蹈节、西雅图交响乐团的演出,还有纽约古根海姆博物馆。
除了跳舞,Molly 也很热心社区公共空间的人气儿。她很高兴这次和Think!Chinatown一起,把摇摆舞带到罗斯福公园里,跟唐人街的街坊邻居一起跳起来。
Nancy,80后美籍华人,现居纽约,从事行政管理工作。十几年前,她在美国一座1920年代的老舞厅中接触到了摇摆舞,发现原来听着爵士乐也能跳舞!从此上瘾,一发不可收拾。2012年,她成为在北京最早用中文教授摇摆舞的老师之一。她凭借自己的双语优势,研究、搜集并翻译了大量历史资料,在各个城市举办工作坊,讲述摇摆舞的历史、先驱人物的故事,让中国的舞者了解舞蹈背后的文化脉络。她曾担任《弗兰基·曼宁—林迪舞大使》中文版(原书 Frankie Manning: Ambassador of Lindy Hop,曼宁与米尔曼合著)的国际统筹。令她特别自豪的是,她的一些学生如今已成为独当一面的摇摆舞老师,活跃在中国各地。
